This strong rise also boosted investor confidence. The network’s overall structure, dApp activity, and transaction speed made it stand out, along with its developer-friendly environment. Moreover, this performance is not just a short-term increase. Revenue charts from 2016 to 2025 show Solana’s steady upward trend.
dApp Traffic, RWA, and Meme Coin Platforms Shine
Solana network consolidates its leadership not only through transaction revenue but also with ecosystem activity. In the last 10 months, Solana ranked first in weekly dApp revenues, attracting attention with its fast and low-cost infrastructure.

Additionally, Solana crossed an important milestone in tokenized real-world assets (RWA) with a total value of $418 million. Although trailing Aptos ($538 million), Solana’s growth rate is notable.
In the meme coin ecosystem, Solana stands out with launchpads like LetsBonk and Pump.fun, attracting institutional interest. However, chains like Arbitrum and Optimism are closing the gap. Therefore, Solana’s ability to maintain leadership depends on continuing its innovation.
